A chaotic scene unfolded in New York City as several high-end vehicles, with a combined value of approximately $524,000, were left severely damaged following a failed heist attempt.
In the early hours before dawn, at least four luxury cars were found wrecked after a robbery gone wrong at a parking garage on West 43rd Street in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan.
Video footage captured a 2025 white Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE P400, valued at about $95,000, trapped beneath the garage’s metal door.
The New York Police Department reported to W42st that the vehicle got stuck after the parking attendant lowered the gate during the incident.
Nearby, a 2023 blue McLaren Artura, priced between $160,000 and $229,000 according to Autotrader, was discovered battered and perched on a sidewalk outside a FedEx location.
A black Mercedes G-class AMG G 63 SUV, typically sold pre-owned for around $180,000, was also involved in the attempted theft, found abandoned on the road but seemingly unharmed.
Another car, a white 2018 Volvo XC60 currently selling for around $20,000, sustained damage to the driver side door and a smashed front windshield.
‘I came to pick up my car and I saw it on the street,’ Hassam Al G, who owns the Volvo, told the outlet.
